Bird photography

Sometimes, as an amateur, I can get a better shot of birds in action with a movie and then capture a frame from it in the computer software.  Birds are quite challenging to photograph if they're not just sitting still somewhere, and a bit of action makes a photo much more interesting, not just another bird sitting there.  In this shot I took a movie down at Henley Beach where some gulls were fighting over food on the beach, and captured this frame as my favourite action shot from it.
